Chapter 331 Spirit Rice
Chapter 331 Spirit Rice
Zhou Jingze returned to his residence and went to the kitchen first, where he placed the fish in a basin and filled it with water to prevent it from dying.
Uncle Hu also caught a few fish. He went back to the forest and gathered a lot of herbs. He also caught a few pheasants and rabbits. He flew a long way again, gathered the herbs he needed, and then flew back.
He returned to the thatched cottage and began to refine the elixir. He took the cauldron from his ring, cleaned it, and then, after igniting the spiritual fire, began to add the medicinal herbs.
Soon, the aroma of medicine filled the air, and the pill was successfully refined. He took out a delicate small bottle, opened the furnace, and eight pills flew out. Uncle Hu waved his hand, and the pills automatically flew into the small bottle.
Uncle Hu laughed happily. The white ape was able to advance after taking it.
Qiqi and the other children woke up and went to the lake to wash their hands and faces, playing around. The water was clear, and Qiqi was mesmerized by her own reflection. She had been here for over twenty years, and even now, as a mother of two babies, she was still as beautiful as ever. She blushed at the sight. She also thought of her modern parents and wondered how they were doing.
Zhou Jingze looked at her, probably feeling narcissistic again, and probably homesick. He walked over, took Qiqi's hand, and walked back without saying a word.
After they had breakfast together, the children, the white ape, and the white fox all agreed to follow them into the forest to look for medicinal herbs. The five of them, along with the two beasts, traveled through the forest.
They hunted a lot of game and gathered a lot of herbs that day; it was a very fruitful day. They walked back happily, humming a song that Qiqi couldn't understand. They soon returned to their residence. They brought all the game to the kitchen.
Uncle Hu saw it and praised them, saying that the game they hunted that day was enough to eat for many days.
Uncle Hu called the white ape over, took out three pills and gave them to it, asking it to take them and see if it could advance.
The white ape thanked Uncle Hu. Qiqi also took out a lot of spirit stones and gave them to the white ape, as well as a few spirit fruits, and gave Xiaohong a fruit. The white ape happily accepted them, thanked them, and went to the cave Uncle Hu mentioned.
The white ape took the elixir and sat upright in the cave. Uncle Hu also came to the cave entrance to protect it.
The medicinal power of the pills quickly flowed through his body. After taking three pills in a row, his internal strength reached its peak, and blood oozed out of his meridians. The white ape mobilized all his strength to attack the realm. Feeling that his strength was insufficient, he took the spiritual fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, devouring it in a few bites. He then picked up the small red fruit and ate it as well. Still feeling a little short, he took the spiritual stone and clenched both hands, absorbing the energy of the spirit stone. Soon, he had absorbed more than half of the spirit stone, and his skin felt swollen and painful all over his body.
Finally, a burst of light shot up into the sky, signaling the White Ape's advancement. A massive amount of spiritual energy poured into the cave. The entire valley's spiritual energy condensed into a single thread, desperately rushing towards the cave. It instantly entered the White Ape's tattered body, repairing it.
Uncle Hu also sat down to absorb the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was so rich that it could drip out spiritual liquid. Uncle Hu sent a message to Zhou Jingze, asking them to bring the three children to the vicinity of the cave.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze also saw the red light and spiritual energy, knowing that the white ape had successfully advanced. The five of them quickly came to the outside of the cave to absorb spiritual energy and improve their own cultivation.
Uncle Hu saw that they had all entered a state of cultivation. The white fox also sat beside Qiqi like a child, closing his eyes and meditating seriously, absorbing spiritual energy. A thin wisp of spiritual energy entered the white fox's body.
All of them had a wisp of spiritual energy entering their bodies, but the thickness was different, nourishing their bodies.
Uncle Hu quietly stood up and walked back to the kitchen. He took the game they had hunted to the lake and cleaned it. He also washed a lot of vegetables. He took them back to the kitchen and started cooking for them. They must be hungry after their training.
Soon, more than a dozen dishes were ready, and a large pot of fragrant rice was steamed. These were all spiritual rice, which he brought from the divine realm and planted here. He watered it with spiritual energy every few days. The yield was not as high as that from the divine realm, but it was enough for him to eat every day.
Qiqi, fearing they wouldn't have enough rice, secretly took some from the space and poured it into his other rice bucket. Uncle Hu knew all this; he knew Qiqi was kind and thoughtful. Qiqi also kept a lot of seasonings in the kitchen, labeling them with their instructions. Her attentiveness reminded Uncle Hu of the woman who was also so attentive. She gave him half of the pills she refined, fearing he would be lazy and get scolded by his master.
The woman also made a lot of delicious food for him and the chef. She could make more than a dozen kinds of cakes, and she never repeated them. She also made a lot of dishes every day and let the chef and he taste them. If they were not tasty, she would improve them.
Whenever I have time, I make delicious food for him. He has become so picky about it that he doesn’t want to eat anything that is not made by my junior sister.
It was during that time that Uncle Hu learned cooking from his junior sister. He couldn't let his junior sister do all the hard work. The master often scolded him for being lazy, so he secretly learned cooking from his junior sister.
Soon he was able to cook the food that the master liked, so that when the junior sister was in seclusion, he and the master could also eat delicious meals. In the end, the master stopped scolding him and secretly praised him to the junior sister for his change of nature and knowing how to practice alchemy and cook.
Uncle Hu laughed at the thought. Now it was his turn to cook for his junior sister's reincarnation, even though she couldn't remember him.
The white ape repaired its body and consolidated its realm. It also saw Qiqi and the others absorbing spiritual energy. It didn't get up, but continued to sit on the ground, trying to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible. It felt like it could transform. It slowly transformed into an eight-year-old boy. He looked at his thin arms and legs.
Finally, I can move freely in the fairyland. I am free, no longer trapped here. He didn't dare laugh, so he sat silently watching them, and stopped absorbing spiritual energy. Finally, unable to contain his joy, he slowly got up, walked out of the cave, left the mountain, and ran.
"Uncle Hu, I'm here. I've transformed. Thank you."
Uncle Hu heard the white ape calling him and came out of the kitchen to see a little boy about eight years old running towards him. He jumped up and hugged him, bursting into tears.
"Thank you, Uncle Hu. I've finally transformed. No one has ever cared about me this much, or made me elixirs or spirit stones. It was you who gave them to me, allowing me to advance and transform. Thank you for your words. They are so powerful and helpful to me, which made me decide to follow them. It's only been one day, and I've already transformed." He knelt down and kowtowed three times to Uncle Hu, his forehead red.
Uncle Hu quickly pulled him up. "White Ape, this is your fate. I was afraid you'd miss such a great opportunity. Don't thank me. Didn't Qiqi say we're family?"
